?Chapter 622: Chapter 557 Psychic Assault Chapter 622: Chapter 557 Psychic Assault Gandalf and Galadriel, who had both been ready to act, calmed down slightly after hearing Tao Yu’s straightforward words.
“He’s not trying to act brave for the sake of valor; he simply wants to secure the benefits,” they thought, making it really inappropriate to “steal the kill.”
At this moment, the Flame Demon, with the glow that lit up the entire cave, had now reversed its path and blocked the way where everyone had come from.
The intense heat, even from a distance, hit them like a wave, as if they were inside a furnace.
The ground over which they had walked had turned into flowing magma, with boiling lava bubbles bursting, painting the entire hall red with its ponderous steps.
The appearance of the Flame Demon gradually emerged before everyone’s eyes.
A pair of eyes like burning golden flames, fiery mane-like flames encircling its body, and its six to seven meters tall stature combined with a grim and robust form gave off an immense sense of oppression.
One hand wielded a whip of flames, while the other materialized a long sword of fire.
...
A brutal aura rushed towards them, and feeling the chaos it carried made Tao Yu raise an eyebrow.
He faintly understood why the demon had appeared before he even began to attract its attention.
It was essentially drawn here by The One Ring.
“As expected of a Maiar, even having just awakened from its slumber, it has such a strong presence.
However, with the ‘Innate Boundary Field’...
it should be manageable...”
Back in the Mysterious World, when Tao Yu hunted angels using Innate Barrier, he took great risks.
Only by relying on his immunity to psychic attacks and several other factors was he barely able to subdue the ‘Elder of Filthy Speech,’ exploiting its natural weakness.
Yet, now, having devoured the traits of three Sequence Twos and achieved the corresponding Deification and the Primordial Source, even if he couldn’t fully control this power and hadn’t assimilated it completely,
facing a single, yet-to-recover Maiar, Tao Yu felt he could unleash a bit more.
However, just as he was about to habitually flip the Coin to see his fortune, the rapidly spinning Coin at his fingertips made Tao Yu’s gaze grow deeper.
Divination interference...@@@@
A chaos caused by the Flame Demon itself?!
No...
The Flame Demon had already approached, and Tao Yu could clearly feel that his divination was not being disrupted by the massive demon before him.
Was there someone else hidden nearby?
Or someone carrying Anti-Divination Tools!
All this time, Tao Yu had not noticed anything unusual, and it was only on a whim before he took action that he discovered such circumstances!
With this thought, the Mirror Space activation Tao Yu had been ready to initiate came to a stop, and he simply watched quietly as the Flame Demon drew closer, arranging some plans with Scathach through Heart-to-Heart Communion.
A shadow detached itself from Tao Yu’s own and sped away rapidly.
This also caught the attention of Gandalf and Galadriel, but they didn’t say much.
Only Gandalf spoke up,
“Are you planning to use that strange tree again?
The whip, which had been flying at high speed, now moved sluggishly like a snail’s antenna.
The sparks that sprayed from it floated as if in suspension.
“Weak and powerless.”
Tao Yu spoke again.
The towering Flame Demon began to stagger.
Even the stone bridge under Tao Yu’s feet seemed to have gone soft.
The Fellowship of the Ring, having moved away for a while, were once again slightly affected.
Tao Yu reached out to grab the flaming whip, showing no concern for its temperature.
“Wither.”
Crack~
Boom~
The stone bridge finally succumbed to the strain and burst apart instantly.
Yet eerily, even as the fragments of the bridge fell, they were still subject to the ‘slow’ effect, and floated down like feathers.
The flames on the Flame Demon seemed to dim significantly!
Tao Yu then grabbed the flaming whip and pulled it toward himself.
Feeling the strange strength on the whip, Tao Yu was somewhat surprised to discover that even with three layers of vile speech stacked upon him, the Flame Demon still possessed more physical strength than he did!
He couldn’t pull the Flame Demon over; in fact, there was a tendency to be pulled in the opposite direction.
Tao Yu didn’t intentionally let go, instead, he moved forward in the direction of the whip’s pull.
The Flame Demon was still under the ‘slow’ restriction.
Both were falling in mid-air, though not quickly, spiraling toward the pit’s bottom.
Using the Flame Demon and the slowly falling fragments of the stone bridge as a foundation, Tao Yu continuously leaped, completely unaffected by the fall.
One couldn’t tell at all that Tao Yu, the Flame Demon, and the fragments of the bridge were falling towards the unknown depths of the Abyss below.
With the safety net of Innate Time Control, even with the Flame Demon’s greater strength, there was no chance of landing a hit.
The fiery sword swung toward Tao Yu and was dodged by Tao Yu who slid past the distorted plasma in the air, then he pulled out the Sword of Light and Shadow and slashed casually.
Pfft~
Lines of fire burst from the Flame Demon’s body.
Even the Flame Demon’s tough body was forcibly slashed open by the dark, inky Sword of Light and Shadow, spewing many sparks like stricken hot charcoal.
But it was this very strike that seemed to cause pain to the Flame Demon, whose internal power rapidly expanded as it roared and forcibly broke free of Tao Yu’s vile speech constraints.
Its speed suddenly returned, and it swung its sword horizontally towards Tao Yu.
Its massive size and reach made its attack almost impossible to evade.
At that same moment, Tao Yu felt a cunning spiritual power suddenly invade his mind, as if someone had seized the opportunity to launch a psychic assault on him in secret!
“Isn’t that unfortunate...”
